On 64-bit init_mem_mapping() relies on the minimal page fault handler
provided by the early IDT mechanism. The real page fault handler is
installed right afterwards into the IDT.
This is problematic on CPUs which have X86_FEATURE_FRED set because the
real page fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the FRED
exception stack frame and not from CR2, but that does obviously not work
when FRED is not yet enabled in the CPU.
To prevent this enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() without
interrupt stacks. Those are enabled later in trap_init() after the CPU
entry area is set up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
